Re: REMINDER for website submissions...

A quick look at the front page of FIRST Awards says:

For the Website Award:

* Enter the correct URL.
* Confirm the URL.
* Submit!
Sounds to me like there are no notes, logins, or anything other than a URL you can give them. The only solution I can think of is to make a special url that you give for judging, with random characters to be secure. For example, http://team####.org/k3s89ma3b. You could redirect them as a logged-in (judge, or team member) user to the front page of the site.

Might be a bit creepy for them though.. "Hi, I see you are a judge! Nice to see you, let me proceed the horse and pony show...". Anyway, thats the only way I can think of doing it without just having a note on the front page (which is what I have seen done in the past) "Are you a judge? Login with username: judge and password: 1234!"

It would be great if any mentors or judges here could step in, as I am purley speculating on how this could/has been done.
